2 weeks ago the usual happend hdc fault suspension traction control
blahh blahh blahh ,
new battery fitted
new altenater fitted then
new brake sensor switch and bulbs and rear tailgate switch
oohhhh and its still there any more ideas ?????

Still more stuff with potential - Steering angle sensor or ABS sensor.

Code reading might be a good idea if possible. A look at live data would likely point out any potential issue with the above.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

I had this fault with mine too for about 6 months, would reset when it went to sleep. This escalated to full Xmas tree dash with hazards and door locks going and no ignition. Had the Central Junction Box changed out and it sorted the Xmas tree dash but still getting the alarms you are getting. I then got the steering angle sensor changed out and that sorted it but what I would say is that I did notice that the alarms your getting, I would only get them when driving A & B roads, car parks and slow manoeuvring, i.e. when giving the steering angle sensor a workout. Hope this helps  2.7 HSE, Audi A6 Exec, Honda Accord Exec, Volvo 440, Volvo 360

Fish, the difference with yours was that you had the indicators of a CANBUS problem, but as ouchie hasn't actually specified otherwise, you raise a valid point.

ouchie, can you elaborate on what the "blahh blahh blahh" is (full symptoms/messages etc.)?

Is the new alternator definitely good (duff alternators out of the box are not unheard of )? What voltage is it outputting? LR/Denso or not?

I had the same fault, ended up being a weak battery. Replaced it this week and 'currently' no faults at all....

Would you pay the extra £14.88 for a Varta with 5 year Guarantee, 110Ah and 920A CCA?

http://www.tayna.co.uk/610-200-Varta-Silve...P3200.html - £85.99

I'd stick with the Exide. They're very well proven to be an excellent battery with many exceeding the specified CCA.

Apologies, Darren. As my reply on your thread at the time wasn't aimed at you, I didn't mention it, otherwise I would have. It's literally only a few pounds though so probably not worth the effort  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Just wish id paid attention to the HDC warnings etc, as they were an indication of battery drain.... Woud have saved me money and time!
